    How did it finish-sprint, solo breakaway.....I recorded it on Eurosport but with the tennis running over I missed the last 30 km. The recording stopped shortly after Nibali narrowly avoided the faceplant on the left-hander. Conditions were savage and the surfaces on the descents were disgraceful.

    Gilbert put the hammer down when Nibali narrowly avoided said face-plant. Scarponi did well to bridge the gap to Phillip while the chasing group of Nibali, Fuglsang, Sanchez, Barredo et al didn't really get it together. Gilbert put it into the big ring and rode away from a tired-looking Scarponi near the top of the final climb and soloed in for the win.

    Thanks GC-a deserved win for him. Like Cancellara last year I think he deserved to win the World's as well but a poor tactical decision let him down after the selection was made. I predict he will have an even better year next year.

    True ednwireland but I think it unlikely he would have been able to follow anyway.
    "I lost two metres to Gilbert when he attacked and my chain jumped. I knew I'd never get them back. I was tired and suffering because I'd made a huge effort to get across to him." - Michele Scarponi
